\u201cIt can hardly be a coincidence that no language on earth has ever produced the expression \u2018as pretty as an airport\u2019.<\/p>\nDouglas Adams<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Douglas Adams was always big on hyperbole, but his description of airports is spot on. Damp carpets, grey walls, the sound of suitcase wheels dragging on autowalks, and that ubiquitous expression of exhaustion. Airports have always been the dullest part of travel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Changi Airport<\/a><\/strong> at Singapore is no ordinary airport. The best airport<\/a> in the world for six years running and the recipient of nearly 600 awards is about to get much, much better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five years since the project first began, Jewel Changi Airport<\/strong> is finally ready\nto see the light of day on April 17, 2019. Spread across 137,000 square feet,\nJewel is a stunning new addition that will house a hotel, art installations, gardens,\nretail and dining options and hundreds of attractions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jewel has been designed by Moshe Safdie, the brain behind\nanother Singapore icon, Marina Bay Sands. Brace yourself for the same\nfuturistic yet oddly inviting vibe that\u2019s felt at the Sands. The glass and\nsteel behemoth will hold the Rain Vortex, the world\u2019s largest indoor waterfall,\nand a five-story high indoor garden called the Forest Valley.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Passengers travelling with kids are in for a treat. The\narchitects of Jewel have brought the city\u2019s moniker of \u2018City in a Garden\u2019 to\nlife with the Canopy Park. This 14000 sqm stretch of green has manicured lawns,\ntopiaries and themed gardens that will spirit your jet lag away. The kids will\nlove the slides, nets and mazes built across the park. The star of the show,\nhowever, is Foggy Bowls; mist-filled bowls that let your young ones feel like they\nare floating on clouds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
